The Cincinnati Enquirer says there's "still a question" about who will emerge as the Bengals' No. 2 receiver.
Marvin Jones started the final six games (including playoffs) in 2012. During that stretch, he posted just 18 catches for 209 yards with no touchdowns, showing no signs of separating from Mohamed Sanu. This position continues to be a fantasy black hole as A.J. Green eats up the majority of targets while Jermaine Gresham and slot man Andrew Hawkins work underneath. Feb 14 - 11:54 AM

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Bengals rookie WR Marvin Jones caught three balls for 34 yards in the team's Wild Card Round loss to Houston.

Andy Dalton tried for a shot play on third-and-long in the first quarter, targeting Jones in double coverage, and got awfully lucky Kareem Jackson dropped the would-be interception. It was a badly ill-advised decision by Dalton. Perhaps Jones' most notable contribution was drawing a late fourth-quarter pass interference call on Texans S Shiloh Keo on third-and-11 to keep Cincinnati's final drive alive. Jones followed it up with a 15-yard reception in Kareem Jackson's coverage. A sixth-round pick in 2012, Jones will return to compete for a starting job opposite A.J. Green in '13 training camp.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

According to Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson, the Bengals believe Marvin Jones is going to be A.J. Green's "running mate for a couple of terms."

Jones was ahead of Mohamed Sanu on the depth chart before the two flip-flopped following Jones' late October MCL injury. Sanu was viewed as a long-term slot receiver after the 2012 draft, although Andrew Hawkins' emergence may delay that plan. We wouldn't be surprised to see Jones and Sanu splitting snaps in 2013.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones caught a team-high five passes for 45 yards and his first career touchdown in Sunday's Week 17 win over the Ravens.

Jones played the entire game and led the team with his eight targets. The fifth-round pick out of California scored from 11 yards out to tie the game at 7-7 right before halftime. Jones started five games this season and put together a line of 18 catches for 201 yards and the score. He'll be the team's No. 2 receiver when the No. 6 seed Bengals open the playoffs on the road next weekend.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones had five catches for 65 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

The Bengals are using Jones as their No. 2 wideout with Mohamed Sanu (foot surgery) on injured reserve, but he was largely the beneficiary of A.J. Green getting double coverage on nearly every play. He dropped an easy touchdown late in the second quarter and secured just five of his eight targets. Jones will have a chance for another big game against the Ravens' struggling pass defense in Week 17.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Bengals OC Jay Gruden said WR Marvin Jones had "a couple head-scratching plays" last week that will have to get corrected.

"I think the more he plays the better he'll be," said Gruden. "He just has to play through some of the mistakes and see it on film and do it." Jones was held without a catch while playing 83 percent of the snaps versus the Eagles in Week 15.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones was held without a catch on four targets in Week 15 against the Eagles.

It's clear the Bengals want to start getting the ball in the speedy rookie's hands, but with limited targets to go around, Jones isn't an option in re-draft leagues. His lone touch came on an end-around that went for ten yards. Jones isn't a fantasy option next week versus the Steelers.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones caught three passes for 45 yards and rushed once for a gain of 37 in the Bengals' Week 14 loss to Dallas.

Jones exploded through the Cowboys' defense on his first-half end around and flashed some playmaking ability as a wide receiver, finishing the game with 82 total yards despite only four targets. Jones won't be a re-draft league option in Week 15 at Philadelphia, but he's squarely on the dynasty radar.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones (illness) remained out of Bengals practice on Thursday.

As we learned with Tracy Porter, an "illness" tag doesn't always mean something minor, but there's still been no indication Jones' Week 14 status is in doubt. We'd expected him to be probable on Friday's injury report, and to suit up against the Cowboys.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones (illness) was held out of Wednesday's practice.

Jones should be fine for Week 14. Coming off his first career start, Jones won't be a viable WR4/5 for the fantasy playoffs.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Bengals WR Marvin Jones started at X receiver in Week 13 and caught two passes for 20 yards in Sunday's win over San Diego.

Jones' Mohamed Sanu impression was ineffective, as the sixth-round rookie had a big drop on his only other target. Jones should get an opportunity to redeem himself in Week 14 against the Cowboys, but he won't be a fantasy option.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Bengals WR Marvin Jones (knee) returned to a full practice Friday and is listed as probable for Week 12.

Cincinnati's ideal three-receiver set would have Jones and A.J. Green outside with Mohamed Sanu in the slot. And it may look that way as soon as late this season. Jones remains off the radar in re-draft fantasy leagues.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Marvin Jones (knee) has resumed practicing, getting in a limited session on Wednesday.

OC Jay Gruden believes Jones was beginning to come on before his injury, but with Mohamed Sanu finally carving out a role in the offense, Jones' snaps will be limited if he's active for Week 12.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Bengals OC Jay Gruden says rookie WR Marvin Jones was "coming on like gangbusters" before his MCL injury nearly a month ago.

Gruden said it was "great to see" Jones return to a limited practice Thursday. "Now he’s just got to work his way back into the lineup and get a feel for all the routes and get back into shape," said Gruden. "Hopefully he'll be ready to roll either this week or next week or the week after." Jones and Mohamed Sanu will be vying for snaps opposite A.J. Green down the stretch.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals

Bengals WR Marvin Jones (knee) has resumed practicing on a limited basis.

Jones ended up missing three weeks of practice after sustaining an MCL tear on the opening kickoff of Week 7. Although he was slated for an increased role prior to the injury, fellow rookie Mohamed Sanu has stepped up in his absence. Jones remains well off the radar in redraft leagues.
